   I've been using Scrivener for a couple of years now after spending many more years with MS Word. The ability to organize my manuscript in one place rather than having a bunch of loose files in a folder makes Scrivener well worth my investment in time and money.

   I've used Scrivener for Windows for several years now, after moving over to it from YWriter...another good alternative to Word. I love the features in Scrivener best though! :-)

   I feel like a painter holding her first set of lush brushes.
   
   I hope I don't cry about it, bit embarrassing.

   I've been using Scrivener for a few years now and it has been a wonderful experience. It is flexible enough to let me do whatever I need in order to write and manage my novels and other kind of projects. And if I need the interface to look simple, it is really easy for me to do so. (I use de Windows version)

   With Microsoft Word, it was always difficult for me to have a scene in mind that I wanted to write about, yet feel the need to write all of the scenes before the one I was most ready to write because it would've been hard for me to find my place if I tried writing my scenes in any order other than strict beginning-to-end, only for the scene that I had originally been energized about to then become a scene that I had to slog through because I'd lost my momentum having to get to it in the order that a reader would've gotten to it.
   
   With Scrivener, I can work on any section of my story and still be just a click or two away from any other section, so I can write in whichever section I have material to write about when I have the most energy to write that specific material.
   
   When I wrote my Doctor Who fanfic on Microsoft Word, it took me about two and a half years to write 63k words. I've only been using Scrivener for about two and a half weeks, but I've already added over 4k words into my new original novel because I'm no longer constrained by having to write linearly.
   
   7.5 out of 5 stars.

   I'm using it. Very, very good. The ability to write a synopsis on each text file is the most important thing for me, I have a great control of what is going on in my text with it and the corkboard view. I've tried some other programs before, and no one allows me to work with easy and complete control of the text like Scrivener.

   Until finding this Resource, I had never heard of Scrivener. Okay, I had seen the Community Sponsor ad on the Board, but never thought much of it.
   
   Now, after reading what Wreybies said I went to check it out. From what I have seen so far it seems like a must-have when working with extensive writing projects (at least in my eyes).
   
   A really valuable reasource I can't wait to try!
   
   Update:
   A week after starting to use Scrivener I put it on my wish list. If it wasn't for the fact that it's my birthday when the trial runs out I'd already have bought it myself.
   As obsidian_cicatrix said: "It's that good. Try it, and see for yourself."

   This program makes me wonder how I ever did without it. The management system is invaluable—each project can be tailored to suit specific needs. It keeps everything visble and close at hand. I originally downloaded a trial, unsure whether I would benefit from its use, and ended up purchasing it before the trial was up—It's that good. Try it, and see for yourself.
